Learning any sport has its frustrations, but imagine trying to learn how to ski.  Sure, you have the ‘bunny hill’ to help you learn on smaller grades, but even so it can be both frustrating and even dangerous.

Skiing and GPS Tracking

Whistler Blackcomb ski resort in British Columbia, Canada is going to outfit children in both the skiing and snowboarding programs with GPS Tracking tags that attach to the skiers’ clothing.  The benefit to those who are tagged include being able to locate them at a moment’s notice, but also being able to track their progress and the hills that are traversed.

GPS Tracking is a great addition to any outdoor sport.  Additional uses of GPS Tracking devices for ski resorts include:

Resort Vehicles

Trucks, SUV’s and other vehicles that are used by resort personnel can be tracked by GPS Tracking units.  This helps resorts monitor the use of these vehicles and make sure that they are used properly and also provide location information should they become stolen.  But the most important service of GPS Tracking units in these cars and trucks might be the safety factor.  With treacherous driving conditions, location of vehicles is important should there be an accident.

Resort Snowmobiles and ATVs

Using these vehicles in moving about the resort property can be dangerous work.  Hazardous weather conditions along with the ever-present danger of avalanches provide the impetus to use GPS Tracking on these assets.

Tracking units can be outfitted to a specific vehicle or used as a portable battery powered unit.

Ski Resorts are enjoying a good season so far.  It can be made better with the implementation of GPS Tracking devices.
